Yorker

thumb|upright=1.65|Different deliveries. Yorker in green. In cricket, a yorker is a ball bowled (a delivery) which bounces by the batter's feet. This makes it very challenging for a batter to play.

When a batter assumes a normal stance, a yorker generally bounces on the cricket pitch on or near the batter's popping crease. A batter who advances down the pitch to strike the ball (typically to spin bowlers) may by so advancing cause the ball to pitch (or land) at or around their feet and may thus cause themself to be "yorked". Yorkers are considered to be one of the most difficult deliveries to bowl.
